Wireless Vs Wired Networks
There are two kinds of network technologies:
• Wireless - communicates through radio waves
• Wired - communicates through data cables (most commonly Ethernet-based)
Why choose a wireless network?
Wireless networks don't use cables for connections, but rather they use radio waves,
like cordless phones. The advantage of a wireless network is the mobility and freedom
from the restriction of wires or a fixed connection. The benefits of having a wireless network include:
• Mobility and freedom - work anywhere
• No restriction of wires or a fixed connection
• Quick, effortless installation
• No cables to buy
• Save cabling time and hassle
• Easy to expand
Why choose a wired network?
Wired networks have been around for decades. Wired networking technology found today is known as Ethernet.
The data cables, known as Ethernet network cables or wired (CAT5) cables,
connect computers and other devices that make up the networks.
Wired networks are best when you need to move large amounts of data at high speeds,
such as professional-quality multimedia. The benefits of having a wired network include:
• Relatively low cost
• Offers the highest performance possible
• Fast speed - standard Ethernet cable up to 100Mbps.
• Faster speed - Gigabit Ethernet cable up to 1000Mbps.
